“…These can consist of either a suitable food bait buried in the ground (Apablaza et al, 1977;Jansson & Lecrone, 1989;Parker, 1994) or more sophisticated systems which incorporate the bait into a trap Doane, 1981;Kirfman et al, 1986;Bynum & Archer, 1987;Chabert & Blot, 1992;Parker, 1994Parker, , 1996. Bait systems have the advantage that they can be assessed in the ®eld, but do require that the bait stations should be left undisturbed for 10±14 days.…”

“…This probably accounts for the fact that although a large range of vegetable-and cereal-based baits have been tested, baits based on germinating cereal seeds tend to be the most effective (e.g. Apablaza et al, 1977;Doane, 1981;Parker, 1994;Simmons et al, 1998). Various techniques for improving the ef®cacy of wireworm bait systems have been tested.…”

1 This paper reviews and interprets relevant work on the biology and management of wireworms (Agriotes spp.) within the context of potato production in Europe, with particular reference to the U.K. Although the review concentrates on Agriotes spp., the extensive world literature on other Elateridae of economic importance is also drawn upon. 2 Possible reasons for the apparent increase in the importance of wireworms on the potato crop are discussed, followed by a review of wireworm biology, risk assessment techniques (soil sampling, bait trapping and adult pheromone trapping), crop damage, and cultural, biological and chemical control methods. 3 It is clear that the process of site risk assessment followed by appropriate control measures (usually insecticide use) will remain the mainstay of wireworm management programmes. However, there is considerable scope for adopting new risk assessment techniques, such as pheromone trapping of adult beetles. 4 These control measures will need to be underpinned by a greater understanding of wireworm biology, particularly adult dispersal. Factors affecting the initiation and maintenance of wireworm populations in individual ®elds also require further study. The current use of insecticides could also be optimized by a better appreciation of the interactions between insecticide use, potato variety choice and harvest dates.

“…Among vegetables and cereal bait, products made from germinating cereal seeds, such as wheat, corn, grain sorghum and oatmeal, were the most effective attractants in North America, Canada and Europe (e.g. Apablaza et al, 1977;Doane, 1981;Parker, 1994). Arakaki et al (2009) showed that germinating rice seed is the most effective bait for the collection of M. okinawensis in sugarcane fields in Okinawa.…”

The dispersal distance of the larvae of the sugarcane click beetle Melanotus okinawensis Ôhira (Coleoptera: Elateridae) in soil was estimated using the mark-recapture method. Grid lines with 30-cm intervals were set 10ϫ10 in a fallow field after sugarcane harvest. Sixty marked larvae were released twice at the center of the grid. The tip of the corneous process on the last abdominal segment was cut and used for marking. Germinating rice seed baits were placed at the 10ϫ10 intersection points of grid lines at a depth of 10 cm in order to recapture larvae. All traps were examined at two-day intervals. The estimate of lifetime natural mean dispersal distance (ϮSE) was 105.6 (Ϯ20.1) cm. The estimate of the natural survival rate per day was 0.861. The diffusion coefficient was estimated to be 613.

“…This is labor-intensive and requires considerable time to extract wireworms from soil samples in the laboratory. Consequently, alternative methods have been proposed, such as using a suitable food bait buried in the ground (Apablaza et al, 1977;Toba and Turner, 1983;Jansson and Lecrone, 1989;Kohno and Miyai, 1993;Parker, 1994) or a more sophisticated system that incorporates the bait into a trap Doane, 1981;Kirfman et al, 1986;Bynum and Archer, 1987;Parker, 1994Parker, , 1996. Comparisons between the effectiveness of bait traps and soil sampling have generally demonstrated that bait trapping is either as effective as, or better than soil sampling for detecting wireworms (Doane, 1981;Kohno and Miyai, 1993;Parker, 1994;Lefko et al, 1998).…”

“…Wheat, wheat/corn mixtures, and grain sorghum seeds were the most effective baits for sampling larvae of Melanotus that infest corn fields in the midwestern United States (Apablaza et al, 1977). Oatmeal baits were most attractive to other species of wireworms in Canada (Doane, 1981); however, these materials are not produced in the region, including Okinawa Prefecture.…”

Bait trap efficiencies were compared to construct a sampling method for wireworms, larvae of the click beetle Melanotus okinawensis (Coleoptera: Elateridae). Various combinations of bait material, bait preparation methods, and bait exposure periods were compared. Wireworms were more efficiently attracted by germinating rice seeds than other bait materials, such as sweet potato, potato, and carrot. Among the bait materials related to rice, germinating rice seeds attracted significantly more wireworms than other materials, such as unpolished rice, polished rice, rice seeds, and rice husks. Rice bran and germinating unpolished rice were lesser attractants than germinating rice seeds. Attractiveness increased only slightly with increasing periods of incubation of rice seeds. Attractiveness increased more slowly with the increase of rice seeds, indicating that 30 g was sufficient for attraction. The number of captured wireworms increased with increasing periods of field exposure, but we judged that three days of exposure might be an appropriate choice because the difficulty of handling traps increased with increasing periods of exposure. Under semiarid soil conditions, bait attractiveness was greatly enhanced by daily irrigation. It was shown that germinating rice seeds with moistened sphagnum moss are as effective as germinating rice seeds with daily irrigation.
